How Do I Filter Rows With Negative Values

  • 4

Hi,

I have a record with more than 200 rows. It is displayed in column C. Now, i want filter only and RETAIN records with negative values (formatted to be inside a parenthesis), while those with values zero and greater are to be deleted out. By the way, this is related to a payroll data where the negative values represent the time to be deducted. So how do i do that in excel? Thanks for the advice.

  1. Set up a table like this:

           A        
    1    Value    
    2    ="<0"   (This will display as <0)
    3        
    4    Value
    5      1
    6      9
    7      3
    8      4
    9     (4) 
    10    (7)    
    11     6   
    12    (7)
    13     0    
    14    (4) 
    

    Data…Advanced Filter

    Choose either:

    Filter the list, in place
    or
    Copy to another location

    List Range: A4:A14
    Criteria Range: A1:A2
    Copy to: Optional, based on the choice you made above.
